Any chance fix permissions can be added?

it's already present... it's in every cwm based recovery by default.

just run "fix_permissions" from adb shell. or "sbin/fix_permissions"

I will not be adding a menu option to do this simply because running it is known to cause problems in many roms.

Sometime in the future i may rework the script for our phones, but at this time it is not on my to do list.

thanks

2 things:
do you have to be rooted to install this touchnav and
what is procedure to install from stock (menu-vol up - pwr)?
thx

best just extract it and flash it via rooted adb shell

i don't believe it will install on stock recovery--can't remember and didn't really care when i wipped the package since the img is in there. there's so many ways to do it... just pick one lol

Hello. I am new to this whole ROM businesss. I managed to root an old ZTE Merit I had roaming around in the junk drawer. I then installed Stayboogy--roamer--aosp--1-3c on it. by renaming it update.zip. However, I am unable to install the Gapps because when I go into recovery there is no option to access the sdcard. In fact, the only thing that shows up thee are the original 3 options it had before I rooted.

How do I get this Touchnav Recovery installed on my phone? I want to update my ROM to the Stayboogy one.zero.full.hardware but that requires me to have Touchnav Recovery. How do I install Touchnav Recovery? What steps do I need to do before I install it? Do I need to do something with my sdcard, like repartition, and if so how?


I have tried to figure this out by following threads but as there is no clear path of what works now as opposed to what worked in 2012 for what I want now I am so confused I just now forgot my name.

So please, any help with this would be appreciated.

BTW, I tried to use the ADB shell but could get nothing going because it kept telling me i did not have adequate permission for the device. I tried as SUDO but still did not work. This was on Linux.
I was unable to install the custom recovery so I just downloaded & flashed the Phydeux-2.0-CWM5-update.zip from Android Area 51 & when CWM came up I flashed a rom.
